The President of the City of Milwaukee Common Council is, by ordinance or statute, tasked with appointing citizens to serve on boards and commissions. A full list of boards and commissions, including vacancies, can be viewed here. Appointments are also made by other entities, including the Mayor.
If you would like to submit your name for consideration for a President’s appointment, please submit the following information and your resume below. Please note, submission for consideration does not guarantee an appointment. Potential appointees will be considered as vacancies arise.
Although we encourage you to indicate your interests or particular boards you are interested in serving on, you may be considered for boards or commissions other than those you may have mentioned.
Being appointed to a board or commission is a public process.
